My new heart throb in blogs is Georgia About http://georgiaabout.wordpress.com/. It has been a long time since I’ve been introduced to a new (to me) and interesting cuisine. In addition to Georgian recipes, Georgia About showcases South Caucasus Georgia’s rich heritage and culture. I am dazzled and want to go for a visit 🙂 But first I wanted to dabble in Georgian cuisine!

Those Georgians appear to have incredible longevity, It seems that their active life, plenty of good red wine and a predominantly vegetarian diet keeps their motors running to a ripe old age, I read an article on Georgian cuisine by Caroline Conran in the Observer Sunday Colour Supplement (UK Sunday newspaper) in the mid 70’s. It was one of the things that kick started my love of cooking,

Thank you so much for the lovely comments about Georgia About blog. I am thrilled that you are enjoying seeing the best of our beautiful country – including the delicious food! I am so pleased that you tried the recipe. It’s a great suggestion to spread inside flour tortillas to make soft, bean tacos. Visit Georgia soon!

Thanks, I just read the article. God, their food sounds amazing! Unfortunately, I won’t be in NY until next year but I’m going to look around the internet and see what else I can find. I want the dumplings!

Lovely recipe. I just made lobio for the first time a couple weeks ago as we were featuring Georgia for Independence Day (National Day of Unity). Everyone at home just loved it! I even found blue fenugreek (utskho suneli) at a local online store, which made this lobio really authentic. Made my own mchadi (Georgian bread) too. Easy and the real deal. I will definitely make lobio again!
